Sun Peaks Resort is offering skiers a chance to blow off post-workweek steam and get some competitive thrills with its Friday Race Series.

The series pits skier against skier at noon every Friday until Feb. 15 at the Sundance Ski Run.

The race series, sponsored by the Rosedale on Robson Suite Hotel, brings competitors together in three different categories: visitors, locals an pros. Each division will be further divided into age and gender categories.

The low-entry fee includes two timed runs and a cold beverage provided by Okanagan Springs at Masa's Bar and Grill.

Awards, medals and prizing wil be held at Masa's Bar and Grill at 4:30 p.m. Prizes include iPods, digital cameras, helmet cameras, iPads and gift certificates to Sun Peaks Resort and for goods at Future Shop.

Registration and bib-pick up takes place in the Village Day Lodge Breezeway from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. each Friday. Course inspection starts at 11 a.m. and racing starts at noon.

Participants under the age of 19 must have a parent or guardian complete and sign a release of liability on their behalf at the time of registration.
